Abstract: Lifestyle is a determinant of health and promotes the perception, and more, of improved subjective condition. It is a determinant that can be usefully considered with the life course approach since it is well known that health risk factors sometimes originate and accumulate in a time before its manifestation. Analysis of SHARE data-with the use of some variables that take into account socioeconomic status-will be conducted to capture whether increased physical activity (and the timing of this change) is correlated with better perceived health among subjects of different age groups, with reference to the elderly.
